Very nice cottage with every you need for a stay at the beach
1.0 / 5.0
Our checkin time was pushed back because the home was not cleaned on time. Uneven floors in the hallway, my daughter stubbed her toe bad on the hardwood floor that had a rug stapled to it to even it out. The back bedroom smells like mold, many of the outlets in the home did not hold any plugs, air conditioner in living room leaks onto the sofa. Owner was VERY RUDE upon checkout. We were out by 12:30, actually standing in the yard saying bye to our children. She left a nasty message on my phone as well and also on here. My fiance called her back to ensure her we were out and she started yelling at her. My fiancee is a realtor, in business for 29 plus years. She’s highly upset how we were talked to. Would not recommend this address. I think the condition of the home is not up to the standards of homes we stayed at before through this app. She is actually making you look bad by her behavior. We did not deserve her rudeness!!!

Overall, a great visit to Bethany. The cottage is a cozy and comfortable place to stay.
Pros:
*Great communication with host!
*Comfy beds
*Nicely sized bedrooms
*Quiet, tree-lined street -- very walkable
*House stayed very cool with window/wall AC units (even in 97-degree heat!)
*Relatively close to the beach (20-minute walk with teenagers, but this was difficult in extreme heat while carrying beach gear)
*Very close to a trolley stop, which was convenient to travel to the boardwalk
*Use of beach chairs & umbrella was very convenient so that we didn't have to bring our own (although the chairs are pretty old/banged up)
Cons:
(Please note: Host said she is remedying these issues, but wanted to share an honest review of our stay)
*Had some issues with cleanliness when we first arrived--mold in shower and on shower curtain, mattress covers were very dirty/stained (we had to wash them upon arrival), tiny bugs in main bathroom. The remainder of the house was clean.
*Wasps were living in the wood above the outdoor shower
*Several burners on the stove didn't work & there was dirt in exhaust fan
*The washer and dryer are in two different rooms, which makes the transport of laundry a challenge. It would be nice to have a laundry basket on site to help with this.
Again, the host was very responsive to feedback and said these issues would be immediately addressed. Overall, it was a nice place to stay in a great, quiet location!

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It was clean, cozy and perfect for our needs. The cottage was actually much more spacious than we thought. We are a family of 4 and definitely could have fit more people comfortably. I loved the local decor around the house and the sound of church bells in the morning added to the charm. The highlight for my kids was the outdoor shower after returning from the beach each day. This is also made it very easy to keep sand out of the cottage. Our host was quick to answer any questions, although we didn’t have many questions because everything was well-explained ahead of time. The location was close to the beach (about one light up from the main beach area) and also to Ocean View, where we visited the Ocean View Brewing Company. The beach in Bethany was beautiful and clean. Mango’s was great for happy hour, 14 Global was a great culinary experience for the grownups on our trip, and the flowers all around town are absolutely gorgeous. We hope to come back again next year!

The cottage is in a nice neighborhood. We rented bikes and had a great time riding around. We went up and down Collins and experienced way less traffic. The bikes were very convenient and enjoyable. Bring a book bag to carry your things. The Landlord is very accommodating.

We had a wonderful vacation at your lovely cottage!! Everything was so clean and supplied well. Very nice beds and all so cozy. We rode our bikes and we walked to Difebos for our dinner reservation on Tuesday! We love Bethany and all it has to offer. Beautiful, peaceful beach and the area and park is nice to take a leisurely walk. Thank you so much!

We enjoyed our stay here. The house is on a quiet, tree lined road. There were 2 comfortably sized bedrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, a full dining table, comfy living area, and large screened in front room that felt like you were outside but without the bugs. The air conditioners in each room kept it nice and cool. There were plenty of beach chairs so we didn’t have to bring our own. Lisa was a great host and was very responsive when we had a few questions. The parking pass was a big plus but we could also walk or bike to downtown. I would recommend this for any family or small group of friends who wants a great beach experience.

Great location and convenient walking distance to the beach (adults and teens). Basic equipped kitchen and easy to use outdoor grill. We enjoyed hanging out on the enclosed porch.

Comfortable cottage for our family of 4. Easy beach access with the parking pass available. Appreciated the library of Disney videos-shocked the kids with the need to rewind the tape :) Especially liked the sun room/porch for morning coffee and past-beach naps.

Very cozy house in a quiet little neighborhood. Not far from the beach and surrounding activities. All communication was fast and helpful! Highly reccomended!

A fully appointed house close to the beach! We settled in quickly and appreciated being close to the beach but not too close.

Cute cottage
The house was in a nice wooded neighborhood. It is a bit of a walk to shops but doable.. Too far to beach if carrying a bunch of stuff. Resident parking pass solved that issue. The house provided room to spread out which we enjoyed the most. My 2 daughters shared a bedroom with 2 full/ queen beds. There was a sunroom and a kitchen/sitting area. Our concerns were that we were not able to get large TV to work. We were able to use small one in sunroom although limited channels. Make sure to bring plenty of bed linens and towels as none are provided as listed. I also brought my own blankets as I'm not sure if comforters are washed after each guest. Bring tissues and extra toilet paper. Overall, place was clean and satisfactory for our stay.

Perfect little Cottage
This was the perfect house ! So clean and close to beach. Nice outside seating. Close to restaurants. Nice neighborhood to go for walks. Felt like home not crazy busy with lots of people all around. Very nice and very comfortable.

Great Location!
This property is in a quiet residential neighborhood, but it’s within easy walking distance of many great locations. It’s about 9/10 of a mile to the main boardwalk and there are several restaurants located just a couple of blocks away in the other direction. The use of the parking pass was super handy as well.

Cottage in the Woods
Adorable cottage. Quiet tree lined street. Had a lovely time riding the trolley to town. Stops at the corner. Ride to beach is 3 minutes away. Wonderful, fun time.

Great Location, enjoyed our stay
Great place, recommend it. I love the location - we would use the parking pass to drive our car down in the morning and then walk back to house for breakfast and walk back to the beach mid day. Just note that you need to bring your own towels and sheets. Beach chairs provided were great.

Lovely
This place was a charming taste of life as a Bethany Beach resident. We loved riding our bikes to the beach then coming “home” to quiet streets where our children could ride their bikes and kind neighbors who made us feel welcome in the community. The house was well equipped with all we needed- just remember your own linens! Communication with hosts was great. Definitely would recommend!

Fall Get-a-way
The Cottage was very clean and near excellent restaurants
that provided takeout menus. Our party was all 80 plus years old
so the beach really was not near, but required a car ride.
However, we had a great, sunny beach day.

Nice stay
Fully satisfied our expectations. We enjoyed it. But we were lucky to stay at perfect weather when AC was not needed and we held windows open. Not sure the same nice impression would hold if we would need to use window AC units in bedrooms

A charming beach retreat
In Bethany Beach for a family wedding, we enjoyed this home away from home - with its coastal decor and great location. Quiet safe neighborhood less than a mile from the boardwalk! Lisa, our host, was a good communicator! Easy quick rental confirmation! Great price! Thank you so much!

Adorable homey cottage close to everything
My entire family booked a vacation at Bethany Beach this year. My husband and I were late to the game and booked our own place, namely this adorable cottage. My best friend was able to stay with us one night as well. There are two bathrooms and two bedrooms, and the cottage could comfortably sleep 4 or even 5. It was much bigger than it looks from the outside. It was absolutely adorable, and we felt right at home immediately. Check-in was a breeze.
Speaking of breezes, the air conditioning was So Cold (in a great way). Although we live in Arizona, they aren't kidding when they say "It's a dry heat." We really needed and appreciated that AC, as we were sweating profusely from the humidity. The cottage is located in a charming neighborhood, which we enjoyed walking in, and is very close to "downtown." It was also conveniently located to where the rest of my family was staying.
We did encounter an unfortunate plumbing issue during our stay, but this was just bad luck. Lisa and her husband went out of their way to try to get it fixed immediately, which we greatly appreciated. Lisa is a great communicator and host.
Depending on where the family stays, we will likely book this wonderful cottage again next year!

Great location, cozy cottage
We enjoyed our stay. The parking pass made access to the beautiful beach easy, and the porch was a pleasant hangout spot for games and coffee. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen/dining area very workable. We loved the area and look forward to returning.

Although a little dated, the cottage had everything we needed for a most pleasant vacation. The neighborhood is wonderful and the cottage is quite cozy. The outdoor shower is a great amenity. We had no issues and Lisa was an excellent communicator. We would stay again.

Just what we wanted
We had a great stay at this adorably cottage. It was clean and well-equipped, easily accessible and plenty of space for two small families—3 adult and 3 children. It is just as cute and beachy as the photos.

Lovely cottage, peaceful neighborhood
Our family of four truly enjoyed our stay at this cozy cottage. The kitchen is well-equipped, the rooms are nicely proportioned, well lit, and the AC wall units work great. The outdoor shower and grill are pluses, as is the off-street parking. We loved the porch best of all — our oldest used the daybed there for sleeping, quite comfortably, and we all enjoyed it each morning re: having a coffee and listening to birds and cicadas as we watched the dog walkers pass by. It is a short bike ride to the beach, close to a trolley stop, and a short drive to beaches, sites, etc. Overall, this is a great place for couples or families who appreciate a quiet setting at the beginning and end of the day! Lisa our host was responsive and helpful before and during our stay. We will be back!

Great stay
This house was perfect for our family. Easy access to the canal for kayaking, quick trip to the beach, right around the corner from Rita's and restaurants, and a great neighborhood feel. The house was clean and comfortable. Nothing fancy, but everything we needed, including separate beds for the kids and plenty of space to spread out. We'd definitely like to come again!

Perfect for a Weekend Getaway!
My boyfriend and I loved our Labor Day getaway in Bethany Beach! This house had everything we could have wanted. We loved having access to the grill, the enclosed porch was really wonderful, and the location was great for walking to the beach. Would definitely recommend for a couple, two couples, or a small family!
